POLICE SEARCH OF BACKPACK YEILDS EXPLOSIVE BESTSELLER

NEW YORK�Officers from the New York City Police Department evacuated the Union Square subway station and suspended all train service friday after a random search of a passenger's backpack revealed an explosive bestseller.

As of press time, bomb-disposal teams were still reviewing the threat.

New York City Police Chief Raymond Kelly said officers performing bag checks at the southwest entrance to the station apprehended a Caucasian male in his mid-20s who was attempting to board a train carrying a small, brick-like object at 8:45 a.m. Kelly withheld the suspect's name and the title of the must-read page-turner.

"The suspect has been charged with possession of a dangerously hard-hitting bombshell," Kelly said. "Still at large is the mastermind behind the plot. We intend to bring this co-conspirator into custody before he can strike again with a shocking sequel."

He added: "It's possible that this thriller's devastating conclusion will hit like a ton on TNT."

A blurb on the back cover of the novel has been traced to Deja Dead author Kathy Reichs. In the blurb, Reichs described the Union Square novel as "literary dynamite." Authorities would not comment on what, if any, charges Reichs faces.

Although many blockbuster scares turn out to be nothing more than a ream of overheated typing with a menacing cover, officials said they are exercising great caution in handling this incendiary thriller.

"We're keeping our eyes peeled for clever devices," NYPD bomb-squad leader Roy Czulewicz said. "But many bestsellers have been known to hold people captive for hours with rapid-fire prose. Once you pick them up, you suddenly find you can't put them down."

The Union Square bestseller is the latest in a series of dramatic items discovered in New York since random subway bag searches began. On July 27, a hip-hop CD containing over 75 F-bombs led to the suspension of train service for 18 hours. And, on Aug. 2, a fiery burst of cinnamon freshness was discovered in a pack of Trident left on a Long Island Railroad car by perpetrators unknown.

'Humor In Uniform' Submissions At All-Time Low

PLEASANTVILLE, NY�Reader's Digest editors reported Friday that submissions to their "Humor In Uniform" feature have fallen off sharply since 2001. "The submissions that are trickling in are just not making me laugh," said Jackie Leo, an editor at the magazine. "I'm looking for amusing send-ups of peeling potatoes on KP duty, not another vignette about a soldier waking up screaming because he accidentally shot a pregnant Iraqi woman." Leo said she almost published one soldier's story about being financially devastated by shrinking veteran benefits "just to help him out with the $300 publication fee, but it just wasn't funny enough."

Podcast a cry for help

BOZEMAN, MT�The few people close to Mitch Delomme say that he doesn't realize the implications of his new podcast, an agonizingly personal 40-minute digitally recorded capsule of news, information, and trivia about the chronically lonely pizza-delivery man. "I wanted to share something about myself," said Delomme, 48, who in the course of his life has been heavily involved in ham and CB radio, personal home-page construction, and participation in late-night community-access cable. Delomme's podcast is currently available on all major subscription links, where it has attracted no attention.

Domestic partner registry proposed

SALT LAKE CITY, UT-Mayor Rocky Anderson wants to allow domestic partners - gay and heterosexual - to register their relationships at City Hall.
Salt Lake City Attorney Ed Rutan is exploring whether such a registry is legal. Registries typically are used as a way for committed partners to document and celebrate their relationships but lacking any rights.
But a conservative state lawmaker already has an answer.
Rep. LaVar Christensen, R-Draper, said Friday that state law forbids the mayor from creating a "synonym or substitute for marriage," though supporters of registries insist they aren't the same as marriages or civil unions.
"His attempt to circumvent existing law is tantamount to the San Francisco mayor standing on the steps [of City Hall] and performing [gay] marriages," Christensen said.
The GOP legislator maintains state law also would prevent Salt Lake City from extending health benefits to partners of gay employees, which the city is also exploring.

Giant Waterfall Discovered in Calif. Park

WHISKEYTOWN, CA - Dick McDermott knows these parts as well as any man can. But McDermott says he's never laid eyes on the nearly 400-foot waterfall that park officials recently discovered in a remote corner of the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, 43,000 acres of wilderness in northern California. The 92-year-old used to earn a meager living mining the creeks that meander through the deeply wooded hills. He has slogged through the brush and hiked overgrown logging roads, hunting deer and gathering wood for his homemade fiddles.

Immigrant chased by armed men

BROWNSVILLE,TX � An arrest warrant is expected to for a Mexican man accused of robbing an undocumented immigrant of $3,000 Wednesday.

Jose Ventura, 32, of Torreon, Mexico, told police that he was chased by several men with handguns after they found out he was carrying thousands of dollars while crossing illegally into the United States.

The incident occurred at 5 p.m. at 145 Cameron St. Several shots were fired but no injuries were reported, Brownsville Police Lt. James Paschall said.

Police on Thursday were seeking a warrant for one suspect in the case.

According to a police report, Ventura crossed the Rio Grande into Brownsville and met with some people in a van that took him to a residence on Cameron Street, a suspected stash house for undocumented immigrants.

At that house, Ventura said he was to pay $350 to the men who helped him cross the river. As Ventura took the payment from his backpack, the men saw he had more, pulled a handgun and took the cash.

Ventura said he �rushed� the men and ran out the door. They gave chase and fired several gunshots at him.

Several calls were made to 911 about armed men chasing another man. When police found Ventura, he led them to the house but the suspects were gone.
